Mike BennettOwnerDescription
Created by artist Mike Bennett, this downtown installation replaces traditional tanks with light, sound, and interactive storytelling. Visitors navigate Bennett Bay using a free field guide booklet to track down over 100 cartoon species. The experience plays out like a scavenger hunt, prompting you to spot hidden Gilly the Goldfish figures tucked away throughout the exhibits, offering a quirky blend of art and science.
